How do I know if my case fan is intake or exhaust?
There should be arrows embossed in the fan’s frame or printed on a sticker that indicates the direction of air flow and the direction that the fan blades spin. It is you who decides whether or not the fan is used as an intake fan or an exhaust fan based on which way you mount the fan onto the computer case.
Should my water cooler be intake or exhaust?
Generally, you want the case fans in front of the case drawing in air while the fans at the rear blow air out. If your case has vents at the top, they should be placed as exhaust fans because hot air will rise. Side-mounted fans should be used for intake, though they often don’t have air filters.
Is it better to have an AIO as intake or exhaust?
Intake is better for the thing that is being cooled by the AIO. Not for the system. CPU performance doesn’t degrade if it’s 2-3C higher (intake vs exhaust), as long as it’s below the throttling range.
Which way do Corsair fans go?
Without looking at the sticker on the motor, virtually every fan has arrows molded into the plastic frame on the side. One points around the frame, and that’s the direction of blade turning when the fan is wired properly to power supply. The other points through the frame, and that’s the direction of air flow.
Are GPU fans exhaust or intake?
They are neither unless its a reference blower style of GPU. They just blow air around in the case.
Which way is intake and exhaust?
Most computer fans flow front-to-back (←), and spin counter-clockwise. The crossbars and the wires are usually located on the back of the fan (the exhaust side). Another quick test you can use is this: if you can see the whole blade, that’s the intake side.
Which side is intake and exhaust?
If the fan blades look rounded—that is, they’re curving away from you—that’s the intake side. (For the more technical out there: The convex side of the fan blades is the intake side.) Fan blades curving toward you? That’s the exhaust side.
